Short Crust Pastry (Pate Brisee) Recipe

Ingredients :

225g (8 oz) plain flour

pinch of salt

100g (4 oz) butter

1 egg

Method :

Sift the flour and salt on to a clean work surface. Cut the butter up into small cubes. Make a well in the centre of the flour and put the butter in it.

Add the egg. Using your fingertips, work the butter and egg together with the flour until it is well blended. The dough should cling together leaving the work surface clean - if it is too dry add a few drops of water.

Knead the dough lightly for about 3 minutes, until it forms a smooth ball, then put it into a polythene bag and chill for at least 30 minutes before using. Use as required.
